All in a day's work

Most of day was spent on needlepoint.  And after several times of frogging the white around the initial (it took a while to be satisfied with what stitch looked the best and then how to fit it in there so my "gotta look even and the same" was happy)

And once again Mr. Gnome was more than happy to help with the photo shoot.

(you could pretend he was helping to hammer in the tacks, lol)

All I have left to work are the two bottom, brown corners.  Then it will be mounted onto a brown canvas bag and viola! I'll have a new knitting bag!
